Birds Of A Feather - Joe South

I remember back a long time ago

In the days of my childhood

In the evenin' when the sun’s sinkin' low

Walkin' in the wildwood

Skippin' and flippin' through the flowers

We’d go hand-in-hand

Lookin' back on all the happy hours

Anybody could understand

You and me, babe

Just got to be now

Birds of a feather, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la

We should be together

Like birds of a feather, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la

We should be together now, yeah

Oh yeah, yeah

You and I didn’t have a lot of friends

Didn’t have too much to say

So they never did let us join in

All the games that they used to play

Seems like it was only yesterday

Down at Lincoln Junior High

I remember what the kids used to say

As we’d go strollin' by

You and me, now

Sure 'nuff, tryin' to be now

Birds of a feather, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la

We should be together

Like birds of a feather, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la

Got to be together, now

Time goes rollin' by

And they say that you and I

Will go our sep’rate ways

But birds of a feather

Will always be together

Sure 'nuff, now

Your folks didn’t want me hangin' 'round

Said that I was bad for you

So we’d meet on the other side of town

Down a long, dark avenue

But they can’t keep the two of us apart

Long as you really love me

I got a feelin' way down in my heart

And that’s the way that it’s gonna be

You and me, babe

Sure 'nuff got to be, now

Birds of a feather, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la

We should be together

Like birds of a feather

Birds of a feather, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la

We should be together

Like birds of a feather, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la

We should be together

Like birds of a feather, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la

Got to be together

Like birds of a feather, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la, la

We should be together

Like birds of a feather, la-la-la, la-la-la, la, la

Oh, got to be together now
